Brisbane will be formally declared as host of the 2032 Olympic Games by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Wednesday.

The Brisbane bid encompassing south-east Queensland will be ratified by a vote of 87 IOC members meeting in Tokyo.

The vote is essentially a rubber-stamping of Brisbane's bid, given it has already been granted preferred bidder status and no other cities are running against it.

The Brisbane 2032 delegation will make a formal final presentation to the IOC meeting before the vote, expected about 6pm AEST.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner have flown to Tokyo to be part of the presentation, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison to feature remotely.

The bid has detailed a $5 billion cost of hosting the Games in Brisbane, which will be the third Australian city after Melbourne (1956) and Sydney (2000) to host an Olympics.

Bid documents forecast most of the Games income will come from ticket sales of around $1.3b and domestic sponsorship of $1.7b.

The IOC's global sponsorship would contribute another $446 million.

Worldwide broadcast rights would be worth at least $951m, or 19 per cent of the Brisbane Games' budget - that figure could grow during future television rights negotiations.

Brisbane's bid committee has also earmarked spending $690m on existing and new venues and also and temporary infrastructure for various venues.

The bid predicts economic benefits of hosting of around $17b nationally, with about $8b of that for Queensland.

Athletes will stay at villages located in Brisbane (10,729 beds) and the Gold Coast (2,600 beds) with smaller villages on the Sunshine Coast and Wyaralong.

Norway's beach handball team has been fined 1500 euros ($A2400) for being improperly dressed after the women wore shorts instead of bikini bottoms at a European championship match in Bulgaria.

The European Handball Federation (EHF) said in a statement that its disciplinary commission had dealt with "a case of improper clothing" in the bronze medal match against Spain.

It added that the shorts were "not according to the Athlete Uniform Regulations defined in the IHF Beach Handball Rules of the Game".

The fine, worked out at 150 euros ($A240) per player, was criticised by the Norwegian federation while the country's sports minister Abid Raja said it was "completely ridiculous" and attitudes needed to change.

The Norwegian federation said on Twitter it was proud of the women for standing up and saying enough was enough.

"We at NHF stand behind you and support you. Together we will continue to fight to change the rules for clothing, so that players can play in the clothes they are comfortable with," it said.

Beach Handball's rules stipulate that female players must wear tops and bikini bottoms. Men wear tank tops and shorts.

"Athletes' uniforms and accessories contribute to helping athletes increase their performance as well as remain coherent with the sportive and attractive image of the sport," the uniform regulations add.

"Female athletes must wear bikini bottoms ... with a close fit and cut on an upward angle toward the top of the leg."

South Australia will spend the next seven days in lockdown as authorities try desperately to contain an outbreak of the fast-moving Delta coronavirus variant.

Five cases had been reported in the emerging cluster by Tuesday afternoon, with officials declaring the next 24 to 48 hours crucial to prevent virus infections running wild.

The fifth case, a man in his 60s, dined at a restaurant in Adelaide where previously infected people were also present on Saturday night.

They had all attended a birthday party in a private function room which authorities said had the potential to act as a superspreader event.

During the week-long lockdown beginning 6pm on Tuesday, South Australians will only be allowed out for five reasons - to provide essential care, to seek medical assistance, to buy essential food and other goods, for essential work, or to exercise for up to 2.5 hours.

Premier Steven Marshall said it was vital for SA to "go hard and go early" to have any chance of containing the outbreak.

"We hate putting these restrictions in place but we have one chance to get this right," the premier said.

"We are moving as quickly as we can to slow and stop the spread of this cluster.

"We know these restrictions will take a heavy toll. But we've always had a situation where we go hard and we go early in South Australia.

"We've got to stop movement around this state and we've got to stop it immediately."

The lockdown has raised concerns for workers who could lose pay with the federal government late on Tuesday declaring metropolitan Adelaide a coronavirus hotspot to allow for payments of up to $600 for people who lose work this week.

"South Australian should go into this week knowing that the state is acting early and decisively to get on top of this outbreak," Federal Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said.

"This is a really tough time for so many South Australians, but none more so than those are who are losing casual shifts, losing part-time jobs and are going to feel some financial stress."

Business SA Chief Executive Martin Haese said business owners were shattered but had been assured help was on the way.

"These restrictions will hurt, and businesses will lose money, but we are resilient and will get through this," Mr Haese said.

"This rapidly evolving situation provides a small amount of comfort that we have got this early, giving us every reason to believe this lockdown will be over quickly."

As the number of cases and exposure sites continued to grow, authorities said more testing facilities would open with the first of those a drive-through facility at Ridgehaven, in Adelaide's northeast.

The outbreak has already plunged thousands of people into quarantine, with more expected to be forced into 14 days of isolation.

Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier urged everyone, especially those in quarantine, to stay home.

"The virus doesn't have legs, it moves around when people move around," she said.

"So if people stay put we will be able to get on top of it."

Professor Spurrier said contact tracing was underway in regard to the fifth positive case which was confirmed early on Tuesday morning.

She said the situation was currently more dangerous than when SA had an outbreak of cases known as the Parafield cluster in November last year.

The new SA cluster began with an 81-year-old man, who entered the country from Argentina, his daughter and another two men.

He had returned to Australia via NSW, where he spent 14 days in quarantine.

He arrived back in SA on July 8 and presented to a suburban hospital over the weekend after developing symptoms.

All the confirmed cases are known to the man or his extended family.
